Mugabe and Zimbabwe: 50 years of struggle

Robert Mugabe’s letter of resignation brings to an end his 37-year-old leadership in Zimbabwe. During that time he went from respected freedom fighter who overturned white minority rule to a brutal dictator. He promised racial harmony, but instead tore apart the once-prosperous country. White farmers had their valuable lands seized on his orders and given to the families of resistance fighters.

[@andrewharrison5339]

@@spots- What did I say that lacks empathy? Do you know what forgiveness entails exactly? I'd rather follow the process of forgive than revenge. I don't think most people even know what true forgiveness is. It's not just forgive and forget. It's a specific process. This is forgiveness: “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens and pays attention to you, you have won back your brother. But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile (unbeliever) and a tax collector." To me, God's standard is there for a reason and informs most good law in government. But it is foremost a day to day, free will, act of self-discipline and can't be enforced by anyone. It is an individual's choice. If you think revenge is better, you will only end up being just as racist and making the cycle of violence continue. Forgiveness is the only way towards peace. I tell you, if it wasn't for the little good that came through following forgiveness, SA would have had a far more violent and traumatic transition. There's no better transition story in Africa to me than Botswana's story.

Contrary to popular belief, Rhodesia didn't actually have racist laws, but what was called "qualified franchise", in which you had to have a basic education in order to vote.

The truth is, Rhodes and Lobangula (Son of Mzilikazi) were friends and it was Rhodes that PERSUADED Lobangula a Ndebele to stop hunting the shona in mashonaland. Rhodes was a builder who build Rhodesia then Mugabe came along and broke it down again. There was never hatred in Rhodesia between white and black but there was always tension between the shona and Ndebele and as a policeman in the early days many times attended scenes of conflict between the two tribes. Nkomo himself admits that he made the mistake of taking sides with Mugabe. Nguruhundi was going to come to revenge the earlier days (before the whites came) of the Ndebebele slaughter of the Shona tribe. I was in attendance at the Mtumbane when the forces Zipra and Zanla were housed in Bulawayo after the war and even then the hatred of each other continued and they fought each other violently. Why do some people hide the true facts from our children. All the white man did was come to Rhodesia to try and find peace and build a beautiful first world country for All Rhodesian's to prosper from. People had jobs, education and a wonderful lifestyle and NOW there nothing left. 99.9 % of whites grew up with blacks and were keen to see change where all were equal in standard and yes we should have done this earlier than we did, but still I have wonderful black friends in high places in Zimbabwe who all agree it was better for them and their families under Rhodesian rule that it was under Mugabe's Zimbabwe rule which may I add was in power three times longer than Smiths Regime.

That was a good lesson to all whites who are still in charge in south Africa. Poverty or no poverty, the land is now in the hands of the indigenous people. Whites can now rent the land from the owners

I keep watching the stories about Africa. A population that would not be possible without the innovation of "colonizers " . Food became abundant and the standard of living was raised . The " native population " grew to the point of starvation. Then the jealousy and racism swells until murder becomes common . These people would rather have nothing than see anyone else with more . Pathetic !

Mugabe couldn’t win his geurilla war even with the odds in his favour, his power was bestowed by the international community. What did he do after getting the power he wanted, he enriched himself and his coterie and starved the country. Not near an ideal model which the international community expected from him.

[@dmd9160]

Patrick Kazan not really I’m not racist minded like you. I don’t pat undeserving winners on their backs either, as I said mugabe didn’t win his war, he just created a law and order problem and was supported by the international community whose sanctions defeated the Rhodesians. I’m not in favour of white minority rule either. Put your old baggage down.
